I Hope You Dance (lyrics)

I hope you never lose your sense of wonderYou get your fill to eatBut always keep that hungerMay you never take one single breath for grantedGod forbid love ever leave you empty handedI hope you still feel smallWhen you stand by the oceanWhenever one door closes, I hope one more opensPromise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or danceI hope you danceI hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distanceNever settle for the path of least resistanceLiving might mean taking chancesBut they're worth takingLovin' might be a mistakeBut it's worth makingDon't let some hell bent heartLeave you bitterWhen you come close to selling outReconsiderGive the heavens aboveMore than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or danceI hope you dance(Time is a real and constant motion always)I hope you dance(Rolling us along)I hope you dance(Tell me who)I hope you dance(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel smallWhen you stand by the oceanWhenever one door closes, I hope one more opensPromise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or danceDanceI hope you danceI hope you dance(Time is a real and constant motion always)I hope you dance(Rolling us along)I hope you dance(Tell me who)(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)I hope you dance(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)I hope you dance(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)(Where those years have gone)
